• How to achieve sustainable production of palm oil in Brazil?
  • Concurrently, in order to achieve sustainable production of palm oil (RSPO¡ªRoundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) in Brazil, it is needed to evaluate various social, environmental, political, and economic aspects directly or indirectly related to the cultivation of palm tree/palm tree oil.
  • What is a practical component of crude palm oil production?
  • We draw on the following literature: The practical component consists of a value/supply-chain based LCA of crude palm oil (CPO) manufacturing process in Brazil, based on ISO 14044 standards (2006) and 2006 IPCC Guidelines, using a liter of CPO as the functional unit.
  • How many palm oil plants are there in Brazil?

  • Which type of palm oil is best for palm oil production?
  • Generally green-WFP is the highest for palm oil production due to water intake for plantations and can be as high as about 5275 m3 per tonne CPO.
  • Which country produces the most palm oil?
  • Due to its climate and vast land area, Brazil has been outstanding in the production of palm oil ( Elais guineensis ), especially among Latin American countries. The major producing areas in Brazil are found in the states of Par¨¢, Amazonas, Amap¨¢, and Bahia.
